The problems I reported with make 4.4 still exist in 4.4.0.90.
Until someone can figure out why this happens, you might want to
consider building make so that it doesn't default to using a FIFO for
its jobserver. I suggested to the make developers that they provide a
configure option for this purpose. If they don't do this, I think you
could accomplish the same thing by configuring make with
ac_cv_func_mkfifo=no.

Thanks, Marco. As expected, that fixes the problem for my test case
(building TeX Live). Obviously it would be better if the make
developers would provide a configure option to use a pipe for the
jobserver, but this is a good workaround if they don't.
